Airstream caravan production

6th July 2012

With our new Air range prototypes nearing completion, we seem to be on course for the launch at 100% Design in September. The new kitchen range, inspired by Airstream caravans, features curved oak frames and aluminium panels. I’m looking at every aluminium product and sculpture I can find to help me understand the full potential for aluminium panelling. I came across this video of how the curved rear end of an Airstream caravan is made. They are so casual, and it all goes together so quickly. Fascinating to any designer/engineer.
